Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Two Men Conversing, Man with Gun, Man in Apron, Men Hanging from Gallows, Heads and Figures)
1895–1899

A collection of ink sketches on a beige paper featuring various characters and scenes. The central sketch shows two men shaking hands, one with a beard and a bowler hat, the other with a mustache and wearing a coat. Surrounding this are smaller sketches: a profile of a man with a hat and beard, a man in a coat holding a gun, a figure in a long coat and hat, a man's head with a cap, and a few abstract shapes and lines. The style is loose and expressive, suggesting these are quick studies or character designs.
